Admissions
Application deadlines: Enrollment into the program begins in the fall semester of each academic year. All application materials must be received before or on March 1 of the same calendar year (for example: for fall 2008, the deadline is March 1, 2008). Because of the time needed to process all application materials and international student requirements where needed, this deadline is strictly followed. Applications that are not completed (i.e., all necessary materials received) by this deadline will not be considered for that fall. The applicant could request that it be considered for the following academic year.
